A pair of Japanese Nabeshima 'Peony' dishes

£550.00

Each painted with a spray of blossoms issuing from a porous rockery.

Meiji period, late 19th century

21cm

This type of porcelain took the name of the clan supervising the production of the kilns from 17th - 19th centuries.

They typically feature a rounded body raised on a straight foot with a band of dentils and tied cash coin pattern called shippo tsunagi. The face bears the main design, famously minimalist in its aesthetics.

A dish of the same design is in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge under accession number MARC.C.110-1012
